A cropmark of a curvilinear ditch, probably part of an enclosure of Neolithic or Bronze Age date is visible on aerial photographs (S1-S2). This cropmark is centred on TG 2970 1999 and was previously recorded as part of NHER 11878. A narrow ditch cropmark is present on a curving alignment. It is possible that it forms one side of a curvilinear enclosure of Neolithic to Bronze Age date. The visible part of the ditch indicates that the enclosure has dimensions of at least 112m by 40m. The western half of the possible enclosure is obscured by a small area of woodland. This cropmark lies 100m to the west of a large circular enclosure (NHER 49176) and two double ring ditches (NHER 11878).
